Working with my Habits
Between a sensory processing disorder, autism, and OCD, I have a lot of habits I developed to help me cope with the world around me. Most of these are not great habits and I’m trying to break them, but it’s a long process. My most notable habit is chewing on my fingers. I’ve chewed on…

Musical Variety
I enjoy all kinds of different music, it’s hard to pick a favorite. Each genre has something different to offer and what I listen to really depends on my mood. I enjoy rock, metal, country, pop, rap, alternative, and various electronic music. My mother loves country music. She’d play all kinds of her favorite hits,…

Neurodivergent Comforts

A Joyful Discussion

I have ADHD so I often lose track of time in general. In fact, there’s even a term for it, time blindness. I have often been late to work but I learned to manage my time better so I make it on time or early. However, when it comes to everyday distractions I struggle to…

Cliché but True
As cliché as it sounds, my phone is one of the most important things I carry with me. Yes, I spend a lot of time playing games or scrolling through social media, but my phone is more than just a distraction. It is a tool that allows me to stay in communication with people, listen…

Dogs or Cats
Honestly? I don’t think I can choose. Both have their pros and cons but in the end they are both great companions depending on their personailities. Dogs are very excitable and require quite a bit of training to manage properly. They need to be trained to go outside to relieve themselves so they don’t just…

Conversations with Max
If I could get my cat to just understand one thing it’d be that sometimes, I just don’t like to be touched. I still love Max very much, he’s a very sweet cat! He’s very needy sometimes and wants snuggles a lot. I don’t mind snuggling my cat, but sometimes I just need some space…
